Hi again!
Been reading alot today. Have been trying to find a med that is directly geared toward anxiety and panic disorder. I always have severe reactions to ssri's and I'm thinking its because I'm not depressed. Maybe those particular chemicals in my brain do not need adjusting. This whole anxiety/panic/agoraphobia didn't hit me until about a year and a half ago. This is not something I have been struggling with for years and years.
TCA's don't work either.
The only benzo I can take that really helps for a short period is xanax. (Have tried all the others). I have just as severe side effects to antipsychotics. I don't think I need them either. My body totally rejects these meds.
The only thing I need is help with these awful anxieties and panic. This constant fear that I feel, I am always in flight or fright mode.
My body seems to have a very low tolerance to meds. (I can't even take pain pills)
The two meds I found today that looked like they might be what may help is Buspar or Celexa.
If anyone has had experience with these for extreme and debilitating anxiety, could you please let me know.
Thanks,
Courtney
